Has anyone heard of or used olive oil instead of coconut oil? I’m sensitive to coconut oil. I was just prescribed estrogen cream but not sure if I want to use it
I’ve had a burning sensation for 14 days and I’m desperate for relief

I love the estrogen cream. It just makes me feel healthier. I wasn’t doing terrible before I started using it, but I’m still glad I tried it. I haven’t tried the oils yet. I’m not sure I need the oil, but I want to be proactive and stay supple.

I am 82 and have been using estrogen cream for over forty years. Even before menopause which I went through and was all over at 48, I was so dry that I had to have my urethra dilated because of dryness. Believe me not fun. That's when I was put on the cream. My daughter who is 56 is on it also. Not one side effect. I could never take birth control pills because the estrogen bothered me, but this is so different. You usually start with it every night then just twice a week. If I don't use it I can feel things starting to close again.
